Pro Mum

In my latest Pro Mum podcast, I speak to Tejali Shete, founder of Roll Dot Agency and Creative Equals Creative Comeback winner, about her personal experience of moving to the U.K. from India and her struggle to find work here with 16 years experience. We talk about gender and cultural bias, personal pressure, the need for the industry to notice transferable skills and how employers' trust can make a big difference, not just for the individual but for the business too. All whilst navigating home schooling and a pandemic. If you’d like to chat about any of the challenges raised in this podcast or discuss your own challenges on Pro Mum please get in touch.

This Pro Mum podcast is in celebration of IWD 2020. I speak to award winning Group Creative Director Sue Higgs from Grey London about being a single Mum, breadwinner and creative whilst fighting bullying and sexism in the work place. In 2020 and beyond I hope no one comes up against the same prejudices as Sue. Or any prejudices for that matter. We've come far but we've still got a way to go. Let's keep fighting the good fight.
